Two genetic variants previously linked to Alzheimer’s disease have been more specifically tied to brain atrophy that is characteristic of the disease. A newly reported study, led by Liana Apostolova, M.D., Barbara and Peer Baekgaard Professor of Alzheimer’s Disease Research […]

A new detailed map of the hippocampal region of the brain, compiled by researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital-The Neuro at McGill University, is helping the scientific community accelerate research and develop better treatments for patients suffering from […]

Scientists have identified a network of nine genes that play a key role in the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease. The finding could help scientists develop new treatments to delay the onset of the disease, said lead researcher Associate Professor Mauricio […]

University of Florida Health researchers have made a new discovery about Huntington’s disease, showing that the gene that causes the fatal disorder makes an unexpected “cocktail” of mutant proteins that accumulate in the brain. The findings are significant because these […]

Older adults that improved their fitness through a moderate intensity exercise program increased the thickness of their brain’s cortex, the outer layer of the brain that typically atrophies with Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study from the University of […]

Genes are not only important for regular memory performance, but also for the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers at the University of Basel now identified a specific group of genes that plays a central role in both processes. This group […]

MRI scans and other tools to detect and diagnose dementia are helpful but not definitive – according to new research from the University of East Anglia. A report published today in The Lancet Neurology evaluates for the first time how […]

Describing his recently published research, Dr. Martin Hirsch – from Queen Mary, University of London – said: “We have known since the time of Florence Nightingale that music has a positive impact on patients during surgery, by making them feel […]

Certain patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) may have specific genetic risk factors that put them at higher risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD), according to a study conducted at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and published […]

In the largest study ever to look at relationships between body weight and likelihood of developing dementia, researchers found that being too thin appears to carry the greatest risk. Among nearly two million people in the U.K. observed over time, […]
